If you are a teen guy, I suggest you check out Breakaway Magazine.
It's a sweet magazine with some sweet articles.
This quote from them made me laugh, but its true...
It’s also why most guys would rather be flogged, quartered and burned at the stake than face rejection.
I really like how HSM does this.
Hang Time With God
Accountability With Another Believer
Bible Memorization
Involved In Church
Tithing
Studying Scripture
This makes it easy to see where I need to step it up. For example, I am bad at stink at memorizing the Bible. It's just something I need to practice more. Of course this isn't a get into heaven manual or anything like that, and definitely doesn't include everything, but it is a great start

I was talking to my two "big sisters" Geri and Amy this morning about some stuff. And one of them was like "How can she not like you? You're a great catch!" And that made my day, cause I've never been called a "catch" before.

John McCain is smart.
He picked a VP that is
I haven't blogged in 6 days!
First week on school was good.
I've been really busy.
Two More reasons my school is awesome
Tomorrow, I start my junior year of high school so I figured I'd continue with this series
8th Grade
I joined Strive and started getting to know people. I was a leader for mexico and took 3 classes at Biola Star. I started going to the 'cool' 6:30 service... I was still quiet though. Didn't really do much...

This week at camp was better than last year.
It was awesome that we just did camp. We didn't have to run it.
=)
It was also super fun because there was a ton of leaders in high school/college. This year we actually had time each day to hang out and just relax. (Take a shower, get a shake, laugh, etc...)
Pranks:
Stealing Phil's British Flag. (kinda bombed...)
Sneaking out to water balloon (More to come)
Feeling alot better!
ASUS decided to replace my computer instead of repairing it so I just got a brand new computer!!!

Hey, i made it.
barely.
Most of the week was really fun.
Last night was a nightmare. 16 kids sent home sick from around 8ish through the morning.
I'm sick with something else. Hopefully just allergies/sleep depravation...

The Civil Forum was really good. Obama was a smooth talker as usual, and McCain was funnier that I thought he would be.
I am a conservative, however, I have been rethinking alot of my positions.
I am still Pro-Life, however I think that Pro-life includes being against the death penalty...
I think illegal immigration could be improved...

What if the reason kids leave 'religion' is because its 2 easy? Kids want 2 do something heroic. That why they play video games and join the army. Why isn't the whole church teaching the Gospel that challenges you...
Click here to look at some quotes that really stuck out to me from Irresistible Revolution.

I am super excited for this fall, because I am taking awesome classes.
Classes
After 4th grade, my parents started homeschooling me. I wasn't sure if I would like it. However, I loved it. In 6th grade, I went on my first mission trip to Mexico. One of the high lights of my childhood.
Then I started 7th grade. I was quiet and didn't really talk much. I took High School Spanish 1 at Biola star. I went to the 8 o'clock and then the 9 o'clock service at church.
8th grade to come next...

Chances are you've probably never heard of the country of Georgia.
It is a small European country.
Recently, it has escalated tensions with Russia.
Georgia wants Russian soldiers out of its borders so it can be a full-fledged ally of NATO and the US.
Russia has been supporting Pro-russian rebels in south Georgia.
Georgia decided to act against these rebels.
Consequently, it shot down multiple Russian fighter jets.
There have also been reports that Russia has bombed two towns in Georgia.
This is one step closer to the War of Gog And Magog...

That's right.
The Famous Dr.Phillip is coming to our neighborhood to visit a family for a story on the mortgage meltdown. Should be really interesting.

Today when I was riding home, I saw 3 fire trucks staged, didn't think anything of it. So then, as we're driving out we see this WHOLE street cordoned off. And everyone from the FBI Bomb tech, to the Fire Support crews.
Eventually, the come down to another street near me closer to their objective.
I walked down close to the robot and everything before they put the police line up. But I didn't have my camera. =(
The put the police line up and long story short found the stuff and diffused it.
It's common knowledge that the house is a druggie house with parolees.
So this smart guy, decides to bury some explosives in the back hill. The same hill neighborhood kids run around on. So scary. Especially, when the news conference guy says that it could cause major damage to 4 or 5 houses. Wayyy too close for comfort
Post any questions.

Bomb Squad sent into neighborhood in Rancho Santa Margarita.
One of my favorite lyrics:
The art of losing myself
In bringing you praiseThe Art
People laugh when they are hurting.
If you had been with our family during the last two days, you would have seen us laugh a ton.
Not cause we felt like it, but cause its the easiest way to mask our pain.

So since my last post, my day has gone down the drain.
Why?
We had to put my dog down.
='(
Over the past week, his breathing has become labored, he was vomiting on a regular basis, his energy drastically dropped, his stomach was hardening, and today he couldn't walk...
Pray for me and my family.
On a positive note, I had a really good conversation with J-Petty.
RIP

Bravo the Wonder Dog
Bravo the Cat
Bravo the Old Man

I am now 16.5
